Fixed Penalty Notices

Fixed Penalty Notice

Charge

A fixed penalty notice (FPN) may be issued for a variety of environmental offences including:

Littering, Dog Fouling [and other offences under Dog Control Orders]

Please note that we prosecute in all cases of non payment of FPNs. Fines incurred by the courts are invariably much higher than the FPN and in every case we take to court we always seek to recover the City Council's costs in respect of taking that prosecution.

£80 (there is no longer a discount for early payment].
